Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 396 - 219 Daughter_4

Chapter 396: Chapter 219 Daughter_4

There was a rampant, "old lady is the queen" kind of wild arrogance.

Duo Ying and the others secretly clicked their tongues.

What day was it today, that all these legendary figures had appeared?

"Ms. Jiang..."

Dugu Luoxue looked at Jiang Yi, hesitating to speak.

Snowflakes drifted down gently, landing on the woman, each flake as if it were a delicate brushstroke from heaven and earth, painting an ink wash scroll with an endless, profound meaning.

In the end, the woman said nothing and turned to leave.

Steward Gu glanced at Jiang Shouzhong, following closely behind Shangguan Yunjin, and quickly, their figures disappeared.

The great battle thus came to a close, leaving everyone with complex emotions.

As Dugu Luoxue left, the snowflakes in the sky also gradually vanished as if it had all been a dream.

Jiang Shouzhong, still leaning on his sword, stood tall and straight like a pine, unshaking and steadfast.

Hold on! Hold on a little longer! He absolutely couldn’t fall!

In front of so many beautiful women, he had to keep up the act.

"Alright, kid, stop pretending. If you’re going to lie down, just do it already,"

Jiang Yi said irritably.

Jiang Shouzhong’s face twitched, but he refused to fall.

Seeing the man already bleeding from his seven orifices, Li Nanshuang couldn’t bear it any longer. She flicked his forehead, and he fell straight backward.

Then he felt the back of his head resting in a warm, soft embrace.

Whose?

It was quite sizable.

——

——

Ancient Asura City, Black Sea.

Under the guidance of Shangguan Yunjin, Dugu Luoxue and Steward Gu arrived at the shore.

A tiger demon that was about to roar and pounce from the shadows, upon sensing the woman’s overwhelming aura, hastily withdrew back into hiding.

"The Black Sea..."

Dugu Luoxue murmured thoughtfully.

She moved to the water’s edge, her wrists relaxed and extended, reaching out to the dark waters.

In an instant, snowflakes began to descend, fluttering into the heart of the dark sea, stirring up tiny whirlpools as ripples started to form.

In a blink, the fragmented whirlpools merged and expanded, eventually forming a giant vortex of a hundred yards in diameter, with a profound and imposing presence that almost captivated the soul.

"The Zodiac Map isn’t here."

Dugu Luoxue said quietly, slowly retracting her slender hand, as the tumultuous sea gradually calmed.

Steward Gu frowned and said, "Could it be with that Jiang fellow then?"

Dugu Luoxue nodded softly, "It seems so, his strike earlier probably harnessed the Zodiac’s demonic power. It also indicates that the Zodiac Map has acknowledged its master."

"We underestimated him."

Steward Gu sighed.

Shangguan Yunjin clenched her fists tightly, bowing her head in silence.

"If lust burns bright, it is but a pit of fire; if addiction to love is deep, it becomes a bitter sea. A thought of tranquility turns the fierce blaze to a pool; a moment of realization finds the boat reaching the far shore..."

Dugu Luoxue gazed at the black sea as dark as ink and said softly, "Yunjin, if you can cross this trial of the heart, it will be an opportunity; if you cannot, it will be hell. From here on, you will have to walk the path alone."

Shangguan Yunjin was profoundly shaken, falling into bewilderment.

Steward Gu looked at her, shook his head helplessly, and thought that the future candidate for the lord of Wanshou Mountains and Rivers might have been lost.

He looked at Dugu Luoxue’s pure and cool profile and asked, "Why did the lord suddenly come down the mountain?"

"I had some realizations, and wanted to try persuading someone,"

Dugu Luoxue said indifferently.

Seeing the other’s confusion, Dugu Luoxue did not play coy, her voice clear and cold: "There are only seven months left before Li Guanshi begins Dual Cultivation. I want to see if I can persuade her to abandon the thought of Dual Cultivation."

Steward Gu’s eyes widened.

To persuade Li Guanshi to give up Dual Cultivation was akin to advising her to abandon the path to immortality and eternal life. Could this be successful?

"We must try..."

Gudu Luoxue said faintly, "Those who practice abstinence do not abandon the world, rather with a heart devoid of desire, they observe all laws and walk the path of inaction in the mundane world... It would be such a pity for a remarkable woman like Li Guanshi to fall into the desires of the mundane world."

Snowflakes danced through the air like weaving dreams.

The woman’s robes fluttered, intertwining with the falling snow, as if she were a brush of wintry freshness, devoid of any worldly warmth.

People in this world who cultivate all had their own Dao.

In her view, abstinence was the true Dao. What everyone cultivated was the heart of no desire.

Gazing at Asura City across the sea, Dugu Luoxue recalled something and said softly, "I remember the original wife of the Sword Demon Mr. Yan was from the Asura Clan."

Steward Gu nodded slightly, "Yes. After giving birth to her daughter, she passed away."

Dugu Luoxue said sadly, "Asuras are meant to be heartless. Once they fall into the sea of emotions, it leads to their demise. I wonder if his daughter also carries the Asura’s demonic blood. The world can never truly understand the words ’emotion’ and ’desire’."
